SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 391,412, dated October 23, 1888.

Application filed June 2, 1888. Seiial No. 275,882. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, \VILLIAM LOUIS HALEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Belton, in the county ofv Bell and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Motors, of which the following is a speciiication.

My invention relates to improvements in motors; and it consists in certain novel features hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front View of my improved device, and Figs. 2 and 3 are side views of the same, looking at the opposite sides thereof. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the device. Fig. 5 shows a modification, and Fig. 6 is a detail view showing the connection between the parts of the detachable standard.

Referring to the drawings by letter, A designates the main standard, consisting of the detachable sections a I). The section a is provided near its upper end with a transverse perforation, 0, through which I insert a bolt, B, screw-threaded at both ends, on which I mount the nuts 0, which are adapted to turn up against the sides of the standard. To the opposite sides of theupper section, b, of the standard, at the lower end of the same, I secure the metallic plates D, which are provided in their lower ends with the notches or open slots (Z. The plates pass down on opposite sides of the lower section, the notches fitting over the ends of the bolt B, and the nuts are then turned home, thus firmly securing the two sections together. The lower section, a, is provided with a journal-box, E, on its upper end, and a notch, F, is formed in the lower end of the upper section to fit over said journal-box.

G designates a short standard similar in size and shape to the lower section, a, of the standard A, and arranged at a slight distance from the same.

To the lower ends of the standards A G, I secure the socket-fastenings l, in which are secured the upper ends of the supportingfeet H, as shown. On the upper end of the standard G, I provide a journa1-box, g, and in the said journal-box and the journal-box E, I mountthe transverse shaft Lhavingasproeketpinion, J, on one end and a erank-arm,K, on the other end. A grindstone, L, is mounted centrally on this shaft and is driven thereby.

M designates a trough, which is hung loosely on the shaft I, and is provided on one side, at or near its straight edge, with the keepers N, which are adapted to be engaged by a sliding bolt, 0, mounted on an arm, P, extending hori zontally from the standard G. This trough, when arranged as shown in full lines, is adapted to hold water to prevent overheating of the grindstone, as will be readily understood, and when arranged as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 serves as a cover to prevent grease and dirt falling upon the grindstone. At the outer end of the arm P, I provide an adjustable bearing consisting of the sleeve Q and the slotted strap or plate 1%, extending therefrom. The slotted plate R rests upon the arm P, and a set-screw, S, is inserted vertically through the slot in the plate and through the arm, thus securing the bearing at any desired point. In this bearing Ijournal a short shaft, T, having a sprocket-wheel, U, on one end and a crankarm, V, on the other end. The sprocketwheel is connected to the sprocket-pinion J by an endless sprocket-chain, NV, as shown.

On the side of the upper section, b, of the standard A,Iprovide the horizontal arms Y,in the free ends of which Imonnt the reciprocating rod or bar Z, which is connected to the crank-arm K by a pitman, .2, as shown. The dasher-staff y is adjustably secured within a thimble, w, by a set-screw, w, as shown, and the said thimble is carried by the reciprocating rod or bar 2,which is adj ustabl y secured within a thimble, 3, carried by the bar or rod Z. The crank-arm V is intended to be connected to a suitable treadle when it is desired to operate the device by foot-power; but for all ordinary purposes itwill be sufiicient to impart motion to the machine by a c nlg handle on the sprocket wheel.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be seen that I have provided a very simple and compactly-arranged device, by means of which the churn or grindstone may be easily and rapidly operated. The several parts, being made readily detachable,can be easily separated for the purposes of repairs and cleaning, and can be also stored in a small compass for transportation.

WVhen so desired,one of the standards may be dispensed with, and the remaining standard provided with four supporting-feet, so as to be held upright. In this case the grindstone will be dispensed with and a cast iron balance or fly wheel, J, will be substituted for the crankarm K, the reciprocating rod being secured to the fiy-wheel. This modified arrangement is shown in Fig. 5.

It will be observed that the grindstone acts as a balance-wheel for the churn, so that it will run smoothly and evenly.

The dashenstaff can be quickly and easily adjusted to the height of the churn-body and the quantity of cream therein by means of the thimbles and'set-screws, as will be readily understood.

Having thus described my invention, whatI claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

1. The combination of the section a, the bolt inserted transversely through the same and having its ends projected beyond the sides of the said section, the section b, the plates secured to said section b and having their lower ends notched and fitting over the ends of the bolt in the section a, and the nuts mounted on said bolt and bearing against said plates, as set forth.

2. The combination of the standard-section a, the section b, detachably secured upon the section a, the arms projecting from the section I), the reciprocating rod Z, mounted in said arms and carrying a thinible, the rod 2, se-

cured in said thimble and provided at its lower end with a thinible, X, the dasher-staff adj ustably secured in said thin1bleX,the driving-shaft having a crank-arm,and the connecting-rod between said crank-arm and the re ciprocating rod, as set forth.

3. A motor adapted to operate a churn,comprising the standard-section a,the standard G, erected to one side thereof,the transverse shaft supported by the standard G and the standard section a, and having a crank-arm at one end connected to the churn, a pinion mounted on the opposite end of said shaft, an arm extending horizontally from the standard G, and the driving-shaft mounted on said arm and geared to said pinion, as set forth.

4. In a motor for operating churns and grind stones, the combination,with the standards,of the transverse shaft supported thereby,carrying the grindstone and connected to the churn, gearing for rotating said shaft, and the trough hung on said shaft and adapted to cover the grindstone when the same is acting as a flywheel for the churn, as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
